Description

Join us for an engaging in-person Community of Practice session centered on sociocultural identities. This session will focus on the updated AQI language and its relevance to our early learning practices. Participants will engage in open dialogue about how sociocultural identities, including Indigenous peoples and cultures, different ethnicities,races, languages, sexual orientations, and diverse gender identities, can be represented in our work with children and families. We encourage participants to come prepared for discussions by bringing examples, questions, and/or ideas to share, creating an engaging and collaborative atmosphere. Connect with fellow educators, share insights, and collaboratively explore ways to implement meaningful and intentional practices in our early learning environments.
